Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Which Big .33?

The point was the weakness of the action. Save the 8-40 for repair if ever needed. I would buy long 6-48 screws and be sure you have 100% thread engagement. The 6-48's are plenty to hold a scope. I like the pin thing. That just looked and felt like the right thing to do. It looked factory done. I don't think any screw alone will hold the action from severe flexing. A heavy barrel should also help dampen that issue.

Hi Rich, I like the 340Wby (actually all of them) but I am trying to get away from belts.
